While the NBA playoffs are in full swing, the issue of player contract extensions has been moved to the negotiating table. As the new collective bargaining agreement officially takes effect, this year's offseason is bound to become more active, and the team will be subject to the relevant provisions of the new collective bargaining agreement, which will make significant personnel adjustments, and the salaries of players will also change significantly. Recently, Nets guard Dinwiddie's contract extension has become the focus of major media, the object of heated discussion, because he received an insulting offer, the Suns may become a big winner, go see the details.
After being eliminated by the 76ers, the Nets ended the season early, and the extension of many core players in the team became the main task this summer. Among them, the starting point guard Dinwiddie has attracted much attention because he wants to get a career top salary contract, but according to insiders, the team is only willing to provide him with a 3-year contract extension worth $60 million. But with the entry into force of the new collective bargaining agreement, the salaries of the players will also usher in a rising tide, and each is trying to fight for a big contract, and Dinwiddie is no exception. Apparently, the Dinwiddie team felt they were insulted by the Nets' contract extension that they felt less than they expected.
It is reported that the psychological price of Dinwiddie's team is a 4-year contract of $100 million, or even higher. But for the Nets, who are rebuilding, they tend to keep salary space to bring in big-name stars to help the team go further in the playoffs. Therefore, if Dinwiddie insists on asking for a four-year $100 million contract extension, it is not ruled out that the Nets will trade it by signing it before trading. According to previous reports, the Phoenix Suns are interested in the offensive guard and intend to make him a stand-in for Paul. In this case, the Suns may not need to pay too much chip in the offseason to get the quasi-All-Star point guard and build the luxurious backcourt of younger Booker + Dinwiddie.
This season, Dinwiddie played well after being traded back to his old club Nets, scoring 16.1 points, 9.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals during the regular season, and averaging 16.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals during the playoffs, but was swept 4-0 by opponents.
